RECEPTACLE FOR SLIDING WINDOW-BLINDS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 374,384, dated December 6, 1887.

Application filed January 17, 1887. Serial No. 224,563.

To aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY E. WILLER, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Receptacles for Sliding IVindow-Blinds; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of saidinvention,referencebeiug had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a removable receptacle for sliding blinds of windows, which, owing to its peculiar construction, is adapted to be more easily attached to and detached from a window-frame than the blind-receptacle of ordinary consfruction.

My invention is explained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figurel represents a vertical section through the window frame and blind receptacles, showing the blind-receptacle at the bottom of the window only. Fig. 2represents a similar view of a window-frame, showing the blindreceptacle at the top of the window-frame. Fig. 3 represents a perspective view of a window provided with blind-receptacles at both top and bottom, showing side brackets extending from the lower to the upper receptacle. Fig. isahorizontal section drawn on line 5000 of Fig. 1.

Like parts are represented by the same reference-letters through the several views.

The window franie A and blindwaystrips B are constructed and arranged in the ordinary manner.

My blindreceptacle, consisting of the side brackets, O 0, panel D, and horizontal crossbar E, is secured in place between the edges of the front casing, F F, as follows: The brackets C O are first secured to the edge of the casings F F by a series of screws, a a, which screws are inserted from the inner side through the brackets O and into the edge of the casings F. XVhen this is done, the panel D, with the horizontal cross-bar E, is placed between the brackets G 0, when it is thus secured by a series of inward-projecting screws G G, (shown in Fig. 4,) which screws are inserted through the brackets G from their outer which extend inward toward each (N0 model.)

sides, and thence into the panel D and horizontal cross-bar E. The space thus formed behind the panel D,between the brackets CO,

serves as a receptacle or pocket for the blinds L when desirous to remove them from in front of the window, and by which they are excluded from View. V

The receptacles may, as shown, be located at either the top or bottom of the window, or at both the top and bottom, as desired. When both an upper and lower receptacle are used, the side brackets, G O, on the respective sides of the window may be formed in a single piece extending from the top to the bottom of the window, as shown in Fig. 3. It is obvious that by thus inserting the panels and stool between brackets,the edges of which project forward past said parts, a neater and richer appearance is given to the window, while receptacles thus attached are, if desired, easily removed. Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. In a removable blindreceptacle for windows, the combination, with the window-casings F F, of the vertically-arranged brackets G O, affixed at their rear edges to the inner opposing edges of thecasings F F and pr0- jecting edgewise outward or forward past the front surface of said casings, retaining-screws a, passing outward through said brackets C and into the edges of the respective casings F F, horizontally-arranged cross-bar E. located between said brackets O and secured therein by the inward-projecting screws G,which pass through said brackets into the ends of said cross-bar E, and vertically-arranged panel D, secured in place between the opposing surfaces of said brackets G by series of screws G, other through said brackets' (l and into the respective edges of said panel D, all substantially as I and for the purpose specified.

2. In a removable blind-receptacle for both the top and bottom of windows, the combination, with the window-casings F F, of the vertically arranged brackets O, projecting edgewise outward or forward past the front surface of said casings and extending from the bottom to the top of the window and afiixed at their rear edges to the inward opposing IOO edges of the casings F F by series of outwardl by series of inward-projecting screws G, sub- 10 projecting screws (1, cross-bars E E, secured, stantially as and for the purpose specified. respectively, one at the top and the other at In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the bottom of the window between the oppospresence of two witnesses. ing surfaces of said brackets O by the inwardprojecting screws G and panels 1) D, located, HENRY respectively, one at the top and one at the Witnesses: bottom of the window between the opposing JAS.
